Subject:      Ebay CV "kit"....is it any good?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Here's the current offer on Ebay.....Andres Enterprises Inc. d/b/a Andres Imported Parts......


This ($82 + S&H )V.W. Bus & Vanagon Constant Velocity Joint Kit OE # 211.501.331B are all  New , "not rebuilt". Made in Asia. We have been selling these locally since 1987 and under normal driving conditions are of equal quality at under half the cost of factory Loebro/GKN.  "Not to be used for replacement of high speed racing C.V.  joints".  


Mine is a 1985 VW Vanagon, 1.9l, manual transmission.....


What would you spend your $ on for new CV or would you rebuild your present ones (I've heard "rebuild" doesn't really apply to CV ball bearing and that "new" is the answer?....). 


Thanks for the group's insights....
